Tom Griffith - The Christmas Cookies Lyrics

I was driving to my folks' house on a snowy Christmas Eve
To make some Christmas cookies and share some memories
I had everything I needed except the most important part
The magic of the season was missing from my heart

So I stopped into a church to say I silent prayer
When I looked up to my surprise a little girl stood there
She said, My name's Maria. She smiled and tugged her dress
And said, It's almost time for dinner. Please won't you be my guest

Tis the season to be giving
Show the world the Lord is living
To give thanks for all the gifts that we receive
Tis the season to believe

When I saw that line of people all waiting to be fed
I called my folks and asked them to meet me there instead
I spent all night baking Santas with Maria, Mom and Dad
And you know those Christmas cookies were the best I ever had

Tis the season to be giving
Show the world the Lord is living
To give thanks for all the gifts that we receive
Tis the season to believe
Tis the season to believe
